Use the following steps to start a work order using the VIN Scanner.

  1. Start by scanning a vehicle’s VIN
  2. If you use the license plate as the vehicle ID continue through this section. If your store uses the last 8, 9, or 10 characters of the VIN as the vehicle ID, skip to section b.

      1. Press the space bar to refresh the screen. If the correct vehicle is present, arrow down to highlight the appropriate vehicle and press [Enter]. You will then be taken into invoicing.

      1. If the vehicle is not present, type the vehicle ID into the Enter New Vehicle field and press enter. If everything is correct, press [Enter] at the OK to continue message. You will then see a screen showing you a list of the scanned VINs.

      1. Press the down arrow to highlight the appropriate VIN line and press [Enter]. This will associate the VIN with the vehicle ID. You will then be taken into the normal invoicing process. Skip section b.

Press [0] if you want to keep the Year, Make, Model, and Engine that is currently entered, or press [1] if you want to use the Year, Make, Model, and Engine that LubeSoft exploded from the VIN.
